I help companies transform with technology.
If you're an executive responsible for:
...then we should talk.
Weeks 1-4
Understand your operations, legacy systems, and AI opportunities. Map gaps between what you have and what you need. Identify 2-3 priority initiatives with clear implementation playbooks.
Deliverable: Roadmap + implementation playbook + priority sequencing
Weeks 4-12
Design the platform, data flows, AI/LLM integration, and team structure. Work with your engineering team to validate approach. Select AI models and vendors. De-risk technical decisions early.
Deliverable: Architecture documentation + vendor RFP templates + team recommendations + proof-of-concept validation
Months 3+
Partner with your team during early build. Weekly check-ins, architecture reviews, and course correction. Help hire and scale team. De-risk early milestones.
Deliverable: Weekly advisory + architecture review + team guidance + course correction
$25K–$50K per month
Best for: Immediate modernization need, unclear architecture, need hands-on partner.
$15K–$30K per month
Best for: Longer transformation, sustained partnership, ongoing advisory.
$50K–$150K per phase
Best for: Specific project (diagnostic only, architecture only, implementation kickoff).
$3K–$5K per month
Best for: Ongoing guidance, architecture reviews, team support (limited availability).
I've architected and shipped intelligent systems across DARPA, Fortune 500, and venture-backed startups. Here's what that looks like.
Autonomous Asset Tracking via Computer Vision
Client/Context: Project44, logistics intelligence platform
3PLs and logistics companies lacked automated visibility into inbound assets—relying on manual scanning, handheld devices, and GPS that doesn't show actual arrival. This created dock bottlenecks, missed appointments, and unreliable SLAs.
Rules Engine for Multi-Segment Logistics
Client/Context: JB Hunt, delivered via Metafora
JB Hunt operates across four distinct business units—each with different margin profiles, customer commitments, and network constraints. Legacy systems couldn't dynamically reflect this complexity, leading to suboptimal dispatch and pricing decisions. The JB Hunt 360 platform was to be the center of the enterprise vision moving forward and lacked a sophisticated, scalable and reliable rules engine to power automated decision-making.
LTL Shipping Platform for Fortune 500
Client/Context: FedEx Freight, delivered via Metafora
FedEx Freight's LTL business had fragmented legacy systems, slow quoting, poor consolidation optimization, and inability to see true network economics. Needed modern platform to compete on speed and transparency.
Psychographics + AI for Manager Coaching at Scale
Client/Context: HUMANCORE.ai (Co-founded with Moose Mark Farnham, 2019-present)
Traditional management coaching is expensive and doesn't scale. Managers lack science-backed guidance for understanding team dynamics, coaching employees, and building high-performing teams. Most performance development relies on generic advice, not personalized insight into individual psychology and team composition.
From Concept to Product to 100+ Users in 4 months
Client/Context: Vedalife.ai (Co-founded January 2025, launched January 1, 2026)
Saw opportunity to build AI-powered personalized wellness platform. Goal: Launch, get early users, validate product-market fit, then raise angel funding. Needed to move fast, be smart with resources, and build right from day one.
I'm not a consultant who advises on building systems. I build them. Here's what that means:
Spent 8 years (2004-2012) as Principal Investigator on DARPA and DoD projects: autonomous cargo delivery systems, synthetic vision platforms, command-and-control systems, emergency responder wearables (HEADER). Learned to architect systems that work under extreme constraints—perfect training for Fortune 500 modernization.
Architected production platforms for FedEx Freight, JB Hunt, and Project44 (via Metafora). Shipped code that handles millions of shipments, thousands of vehicles, and real operational complexity. Know how to navigate enterprise processes, regulatory constraints, and the messy reality of operations technology.
Co-founded and architected Vedalife.ai (AI-powered wellness platform, launched January 2026, 100+ active users, seeking angel funding). Understand modern AI/LLM architecture, team scaling, MVP-to-product velocity, and user acquisition. Not theorizing about startups—building and shipping right now.
20 years building systems, not just recommending them. I design your platform, validate it with your team, and guide implementation. You get someone who understands both vision and execution details—and is willing to get hands dirty.
10+ years in logistics, supply chain, and operations. Understand your constraints, language, and where the real value lives. Can speak credibly to your CFO about ROI. Can talk to your ops team about reality.
If your technology transformation is a priority and you need a hands-on technical partner, let's schedule 20 minutes to understand your situation and see if we're a fit.
